Aging Gracefully
This is the month of our Aging Gracefully Event. As we age we realize the importance and the need to connect with women in our generation, people with a similar outlook about staying positive, and taking care of ourselves. Aging is not always great, but it is satisfying and gratifying on many levels. Let's talk about what this process means to us.

We encourage you to bring friends, prospective members, and female acquaintances to any of our programs so they too can experience what TTN has to offer.
Keep in mind all events require a headcount days before the actual date. Please register as early as your schedule allows
. We consider all schedules and hope everyone will find an event that is convenient and sign up.

This exhibit uses over 500 photographs to tell the story of Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl who kept a diary while she hid with her family from the Nazis in Amsterdam. Anne grew up in Europe amidst the events that culminated in World War II and the Holocaust. Anne was one of millions murdered during the Holocaust. Her story is used as a lens to examine this period of history and the lessons it teaches.

SIGs and TPGs
We continue to have some great
Special Interest Groups
(SIGs) activities as part of the Atlanta TTN experience. If you are interested in a SIG, look for information in our newsletter and emails with information about the date and location. Sign up to attend as many as you like. Share with a friend and let them experience the power of TTN!
Guests can attend outings for a limited number of times.
Transition
Peer Groups
(TPGs)
are for women to share and learn from each other. While the groups are meant to create a supportive environment, be aware that any member of TTN can go to any Peer Group meeting with the exception of Cobb. We have them set up by location to make it easier for you to attend one closer to your home.
Only members should attend our Peer Group meetings.

Peer Group Meetings
To make it easier for the Peer Groups and new participants we would like you to contact JoAnne D'Aleo if you want to attend one of our groups. She will coordinate your attendance with the Peer Group.

Transition peer groups are informal, leaderless groups composed of 8-12 TTN members who meet on a monthly basis to engage in informal discussions. These groups provide a safe and supportive environment in which women may have thought-provoking and stimulating conversations relating to career or personal transitions.
Transition peer groups provide opportunities for connection, new friendships and mutually supportive exploration. The intention of these groups is for women to share and learn from each other, and while the groups are meant to create a supportive environment, they are neither support groups nor therapy groups and cannot substitute for professional help when a member may confront a personal life crisis and need special assistance.
Transition Peer Groups are a benefit of TTN membership.
